A frequency shifting Audio Units plugin, Shift is modelled on Harald Bode's 1960s Frequency Shifter. Like many other Sinevibes plugins, it adds motion to its underlying sound-manipulating concept with a step sequencer. Here, that means up to 32 steps of envelope-modulated frequency shifting, with each step's envelope shape selectable from a choice of eight single- and double-cycle ramp and pulse waves.
Pros:
- Step sequencer well implemented.
- Great for adding rhythmic interest.
- Can simulate a barber pole phaser.
- Randomise option.
- Excellent value.
Cons:
- Parameter readouts lacking.
Verdict:
A uniquely creative rhythmic frequency shifter that, at this price, deserves to be part of everyone's plugin arsenal.
Rating: 4.5/5
